CBS denied a report that the network plans to air a piece alleging that retired major league umpire Satch Davidson helped fix baseball games.
The New York Daily News, citing a source close to CBS News, reported that the network “is planning to air a segment within a few days on gambling by umpires, including ‘proof’ that former major league ump Satch Davidson helped fix baseball games.”
CBS spokesman Tom Goodman called the report “irresponsible and untrue. Someone gave the Daily News the wrong information.”
Baseball spokesman Rich Levin said the commissioner’s office was aware of the report and would conduct a routine check of the allegations.
